The startup community in Raleigh is about to get a boost from a new partnership announced Tuesday between Innovate Raleigh and the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce.

An executive director will be hired to lead the new effort when the alliance formally launches on Oct. 1.

The alliance will keep the Innovate Raleigh name, a Chamber spokesperson told WRAL TechWire.

“The objective is to fill gaps in the innovation ecosystem and address the needs of entrepreneurs,” said Terri Lomax, who is co-founder and chair of the Innovate Raleigh Executive Committee.
